Yes, thank you.
I hate this attention as much as you do. Thanks for cleaning it up.

Will there be an API for trading bots?

You do realize that the game is much different when you play with someone who you may have to interact with again, right?
Well, the internet is pseudonymous, so it's moot. Not really. If you use a brand new account you never use again, it would work. But not with repeated accounts and reputations. If I played this game with someone, for example, everyone would lowball me here. Well, people have the liberty of creating fresh accounts then. |

I need Freemoney's address as well.
Thank you for testing with Atlas Science.

I will give the first poster and fifth poster 50 Bitcents if they can agree on how to split it. It works like this: The first poster chooses a split and they absolutely cannot, sworn on their fate and soul, negotiate it with the fifth poster. The fifth poster can only accept the deal (in which case each of you gets the decided share) or reject it (in which case you all get nothing).
In the case of cheating, I will track you down like a rabid dog, hack off your legs with a hedge trimmer, rape you with a corncob, and boil off your corpse in an acid bath.
Let the game proceed.
You should do 10 BTC instead. After all, 10 BTC means nothing to you. Alright, I will do it in the next trial. http://goo.gl/Zw61QThank you for supporting The Atlas Science Initiative. |

Atlas-
If he is 40% sure someone will reject $100, but is 100% sure someone will accept $2500, what should he offer (assuming he only does those two choices)? Is he a moron for either offer?
If the 40% is based on sound logic, it's a gamble that may or may not be worth the extra $2400. It all really depends on how much $2500 means to him. If it's just a game, sure, gamble. If not and your fate could depend on it, it could possibly be moronic. |

He's a moron in not acting in his own rational self-interest. He denied himself the prize money by making an irrational offer.
Your definitions of "rational" and "self-interest" are questionable. If someone was offered $10 for doing nothing, it would be irrational and not in his own interest to reject the offer (unless accepting the money would somehow be a burden on him). Taking $10 is a direct benefit to you -- it's greedy, in a sense. Rejecting $10 is only in your self-interest if the pleasure you'd gain from another's suffering is of more value than $10... which would classify you as a sadomasochist ...not that there's anything wrong with that. I think it's doubtful that you're a sadomasochist. More likely, you feel the need to teach a stranger a lesson for dealing you a perceived injustice. I think that's a natural response, but ultimately futile. In my experience, trying to teach a faceless stranger a lesson is like pissing into the wind. You're looking at it in absolutes. I gain nothing from $10 in my eyes so I rather piss on the guys insulting and moronic offer. |

The reward is still going and rising, heh. $10 at current rates.

He's a moron in not acting in his own rational self-interest. He denied himself the prize money by making an irrational offer. The optimal solution would be giving me an actual incentive to say yes. You know, by me actually gaining $100 or so.
You've just plucked out another arbitrary figure. So by your standards if I offer $99.99 I'm a moron, but if I offer $100.01 I'm a nice guy. It's not arbitrary. It's very relevant if I am involved in the game. The number is what I would consider value. It's subjective by its very nature, a moot point. How is he to know how to value your spitefulness and joy in seeing others you deem morons suffer? Is he the same moron if he offers me $10 and I accept? What if you change your break point to $2000, is he a moron if he offers $1999?
How is he to know how to value your spitefulness and joy in seeing others you deem morons suffer?Libelous. Is he the same moron if he offers me $10 and I accept?A fortunate moron.
What if you change your break point to $2000, is he a moron if he offers $1999?No, he's a moron if he makes an irrational offer that grants a high possibility of me not accepting the offer. Let's not be pedantic with the numbers. So how do you define an irrational offer? If he's going against someone who he is virtually certain will reject anything less than $3000, and he offers $2500, is he a moron? Assume he values $2000 more than spite. One that a common man is likely to refuse. If he's going against someone who he is virtually certain will reject anything less than $3000, and he offers $2500, is he a moron?Yes. |

Ten dollars is such a negligible amount. I would get more value from watching the man suffer from his gamble.
What if you didn't get to watch him suffer? Why does making him suffer bring you joy? Do you enjoy watching teenagers beat homeless men as well to watch them suffer? Well, just knowing he didn't get $4,990 for being a moron is value enough. Somehow this may encourage similar incidents to have a different fate. The fact is $10 means nothing to me and I don't like morons polluting the gene pool with negligent prosperity. Why is he a moron? What would make him not a moron?

I just wish to note there is nothing wrong with unions. Problems only show-up with unions on government-empowered steroids.
